Default M4A1 Sherman IR & Airsoft Combo


Hello Guys,

This question comes up every once in a while, can you have IR with Airsoft?? The answer is of course yes! But some clubs require that you have a cannon flash so they can see when you are firing your IR shot! But it is certainly technically possible and here it is...

That is a nice clean assembly Phil. The new EL Mod package design has really simplified the foot print.

Who makes that speaker????? I am still on the quest for the perfect speaker. So far the best I have found are the little 1" cubes that swing out form aMP3 player that used to be available at Walmart. Not sure what it is about these little guys, but the acoustic mounting in that little box resulst is a bass response better then anything else I have tried. Of course Tamiya speaker boxes still offer great sounds,

I see you are not having any problems posting pictures. So there must be somehting going on with my machine. Some update that isn't playing well with RCuniverse.

Cheers

Dan

Nicely done, Phil. 

YHR, do have a link to the particular speakers that you're using?  The MP3 ones?

I posted a link in a thread awhile ago. Some online eelctronics supplier had a pile of these. I searched this thread out, the link takes you to the site, but they don't have the speakers any more.

I'll post a picture of the last intact unit I have. So you can at least see them

Hey Dan,

This speaker is a Tang Band speaker and it is one of the best I have found for EL MOD, but the Sony ones I sell rock for their size and help give a standard HL tank a more all rounded sound.


Thanks Phillipat & Ageguy let know how she drives!
